Bahaha, Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaale! Hate-flirting ftw!

Dale may normally be socially well-adapted, but when it comes to Marbear, his radar gets thrown waaay off. I don't even think he's fully conscious that he's flirting with her! She just got under his skin and he's reacting, on her level or below. Maybe he was picked on as a kid and she hit that kind of nerve, or maybe he's just used to people liking him, since he's otherwise so easygoing, but whatever's going on beneath the surface, he's got a thing for her.

Of course, in their case, instead of saying "Get a room!" it might be more appropriate to say "Oh, just PvP already!"

the boyfriend and I just bought Evangelion1.11 and 2.22

2.22 isn't available in the UK yet (two months to go still); I have it on pre-order at Amazon, though. I toyed with getting an Italian copy, widely available from eBay, but as I don't speak Italian that would have been a bit stupid, really.

You could acquire it through other means. It's ethical as long as you keep your pre-order and still buy it as soon as it's available. (NB: I said ethical, not legal)

Daww. That's why you get your American buddies to hook you up! =D

We stumbled on it by chance, I was actually going to get Trigun. When I saw the look of happiness on his face when he saw both of the movies, I set Trigun down and said "Let's get it". =] He looked like I did when I first saw a Furby when I was a kid, I couldn't disappoint. Love is full of sacrifices, however, I'm also happy with the purchase.

I'll wait (and yes, I do know about torrents).

Speaking of Furby... when it dies, it needs a Furby autopsy.

onefish · « **Reply #305 on:** 01 Apr 2011, 17:13 »

I don't know what the deal is with Dale's glowing glasses, but I like it.

Also, re: whoever upthread, Dale totally knows he's flirting with Marigold.

Doctor Online · « **Reply #306 on:** 01 Apr 2011, 17:13 »

I played with my Furby for a day or two, and it sat on a shelf, occasionally waking up and singing. It was kinda sad. =[

Creeped my mom out, so she ended up taking the batteries out after a while.

Edit: Did the Furby's do that? Or was it the robot babies? I had both...

iduguphergrave · « **Reply #310 on:** 01 Apr 2011, 19:16 »

In a world where people periodically have fits in which they speak the dark language of the great old ones, being able to make your glasses glow isn't really that far-fetched.

Already have it, though I do kind of prefer the original movie, even if it leaves me feeling like my brain has melted every time I watch it.

So...Evangelion...Yes/No?

I think so; but I can't know whether you will agree, of course. There's a considerable variation in price if you look around - eBay is a good source if you look carefully. I paid a total of £35 or so (a couple of years ago) for a Platinum set in a metal box, and the package of Death and Rebirth + End of Evangelion movies.

Over half these posts end with seeking professional help. It's just a comic.
It's a comic in which three people are receiving professional help. These characters may be even more screwed up inside than real people.

That's true, but some of these comments are just plain asshatery. Dale and Marigold's rivalry is clearly made in good humor. The glowing glasses, the stalking, the throwing of money and door slamming for belonging to a different alliance in a video game. Nothing is normal about what's going these two are doing, but it's funny. People like Marigold and Dale make life fun.

Yes but they're different!

Why is it everything on here leads to socialism?

Why not some nice anarchism?

Libertarianism would be nice for a change.

Ooooh! Social Democracy too!

No communism though, its a nice theory and all, but useless in practise...

Oh man, I bet that you can buy AnthroPC accessories like that. You could get a little magnetic Unicorn horn to put on Pintsize's head, and he wouldn't get able to get it off because his limbs wouldn't be able to reach it.

I LOVE THIS IDEA.
